Those in bold are Rosses boats

The figures in columns 3 and 4 are tons and hundredweights, a system the Department used since the foundation of the State.   On the other hand, the fishermen landed their white fish by the box (of approx. 7 to 8 stones).  One box was listed by the Dept as a hundredweight, or ‘cwt’ for short.

The herring were landed as ‘Crans’, a cran being 4 wicker baskets of fish.  There were approx. 7 crans to the ton.
